Are grades really accurate?

I used to always get sent to the office because of my teacher accusing me that I was cheating, she would say that if she couldn't do it in her head, then neither could I, fucking communist whore who doesn't understand algebra isn't my problem.

But to the subject, Grades in grade school are not accurate, maybe to Work Ethic as Voll said, but actual mental ability are judged on statewide tests. Not until you get to college will you be graded on your intellegence (unless you play a sport for the school, then your set )

To carry on undeadzombieguy's point...what types of schools are there??? Secondary school wise...are they all comprehensives?? Or are there Grammar schools as well???

Here we got Grammar Schools, then the schools that get the pupils that took the 11+ (test) to get into the Grammar but failed, and then we got the comprehensives which contain most of the idiots that didn't take the 11+...

What about America?? Or...Hungary (is that where you are UZG??)???

Up until like 6th grade, homework should be manditory. After that though, I think kids are old enough to know "hey, i have to study this to do well". I got b's + on almost every test I took (with the exception of english and spanish), but my overall grades were c's and d's because i saw homework as pointless busywork. It pissed me off to do it so I just did it hap hazardly. I knew the subject, I saw that reading the same shit that I already knew would serve no point. Btw, moved to gen con, I don't think the teachers are conspiring against us.. EDIT: this was before i even tried pot.

You are clearly missing the point. School is not about finding the best way to teach kids and make them learn more. Its about comforming. End of story

I got a 1490 on the SAT and on the new one I probably got about a 2350, since the writing section was added on. I have the ability to do well in school, however I don't. For example, in Biology, I have a 95 test average.... and a 75 in the class. Why? I havent turned a single fucking assignment. Hahahaha. I am so sweet. Grades don't mean shit, and they don't help you succeed.

grades in school don't reflect me one bit. I do very well on tests, but I'm so goddamn lazy and don't do a lot of homework. Well...some classe I do put an effort in (like English)

You are all clearly way too cool for school.

Yeah, bra.

That's why you lazy bastards aren't going to become big CEO's like me. First of all, you aren't Jewish, second of all, you're lazy, and third of all, colleges look at grades (and what your last name is).

So wait, you're Jewish?

Really? Because my family is not Jewish, yet my Grandfather, who grew up extremely poor, started the company he now is the CEO of himself. My father started working there when it was a no-name company in an 800sq.ft. office in the back of a strip mall. Now, they are multi-millionares many times over. And no, there are no Jews who helped them out. They did it all through their blood sweat and tears. The startup money was supplied exclusively by my grandfather and his business partners (none of whom were Jewish), and they suceeded. So I think that proves you wrong right there.


And yah, by saying that someone isn't going to become a big CEO like you, and then the first reason you give is that they are not Jewish, you implied that you yourself are Jewish. Which would make you a hypocrite. Which would make you even more irritating.
